They show a beautiful vehicle with neat and sharp design, some cutting-edge technologies and tons of features, worth mentioning! So, let’s waste no more time and find out what should we expect from the latest Vauxhall Zafira lineup member.

    Heading to showrooms in October, the vehicle will feature some neat additions as the Flex7 seating system, ergonomically-certified AGR front seats, Flex-Fix bicycle carrier and FlexRide adaptive damping. And let’s not forget the latest generation of IntelliLink infotainment system, smart phone integration and more. But let’s talk about design, shall we?

    Exterior styling

    The available photos show new headlamp design, restyled upper and lower grille and overall more aggressive design, compared to predecessor model. The sculptural chrome logo blends withing the headlights and somehow makes the vehicle wider, while the well-known and precisely chiseled “Vauxhall double wing” daytime lights characterize the fresh light cluster design.

    Interior styling

    The interior shows restyled instrument panel, greater forward visibility and replaced touch screen with new integrated one. The lower position of the new touch screen allows some button reduction and delivering some more space.

    In terms of interior comfort and safety features, driver and passengers will enjoy a smooth ride, thanks to the optional six-way adjustable seats and modular storage system with storage box and cup-holders. Also, passengers on the second row will enjoy the special Lounge Seating system, which offers comfortable armrests and generous leg and shoulder room. And last, but not least, the third row can be folded down in order to save up some more cargo space without interrupting the comfortable ride of passengers. Sweet.

    So far so good, right? In fact, we are happy to know that the new Zafira gets better and better! Stay with us for full details!

  • Vauxhall Shows Interesting Politics for its Customers

    Vauxhall is the first manufacturer to offer its customers free labour, when filling the AdBlue. In fact, “Fill4Free” is part of brands Service4Fleet standards, that offer money-saving programs, fixed-cost menus and over 400 Vauxhall retailers. James Taylor, Fleet Sales Director ensures us, that the Service4Gleet Program will make customer’s life much easier. Definitely an interesting idea, but how efficient is it?

    With the strict emission regulations, most Euro-6 diesel vehicles must be upgraded with a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system, that reduces the harmful Nox emissions. Current Vauxhall models, that include this technology are Insignia, Cascada, Zafira Tourer, Vivaro and Movano.

    Free labour means, that customers shouldn’t worry about taking time out to source, store and fill AdBlue or worry about any kind of leaks. Vauxhall ensures, that only highest-quality components will be used.

    In general, some of the Service4Fleet options include: Free top up SCR tank, when purchasing Genuine GM AdBlue; Maximum of three days of working time, Delivery service in ten miles radius; Onward mobility, if work couldn’t be completed in three days; Only genuine Vauxhall components are being used; Official pricing website and many, many more.

    Well, it looks that Vauxhall knows how to care for its customers, right? Tell me what you think about the Vauxhall down in the commets.

  • 2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer

    Vauxhall has revealed 2012 Zafira Tourer, which will hit the market in the beginning of the next year. The new model will sit above the current Zafira model in Vauxhall’s line-up and is set to raise the bar for design, luxury, flexibility and innovation in the MPV sector. Good word, but we shall wait a while to see that.

    The MPV will continue to use Flex7 seating, but it will offer better comfort, improved materials and more cabin space.

    2012 Zafira Tourer will also have a new chassis, using key components from the Insignia, with a longer wheelbase – 190mm increase in overall length of the vehicle. It will also have wider tracks, FlexRide adaptive damping system, which will be available as an option.

    There will be two new engines in the line-up. The first one is a small 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol and a 2.0 CDTi with totally three outputs. These two will join the current 1.8 litre petrol to offer a wide range of power options – 110PS to 165PS.

    2012 Vauxhall Zafira Tourer will make its official debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15th to 25th.

  • Honda Insight recorded 63.6 mpg

    Insight won Honda Mileage Marathon event by doing an average of 63.6mpg (3.7l / 100km). The vehicle even improved its own result – the official economy figure was 61.4mpg (combined).

    The challenge involved six high mileage company car drivers, which swapped their own cars for a Honda Insight for a month, to test how the hybrid can reduce their fuel costs.

    Ray Hadlington, who usually drives a Vauxhall Zafira Diesel improved its own fuel economy by over 10 mpg, which is equal to £50 in fuel bills. (more…)
